There is a lot of abuse in the last few pages based on assumptions, the guy's appearance and his fb page. 

Maybe we should wait for more info before people take their angst out against the club for apologising.

Lets just hope that counselling is the only thing that happens to Clarrie.

The obvious outcome.

Super disappointed with the club on this one. 

If Oliver did in fact threaten to kill him then I think it's a pretty reasonable outcome.

No assumption 'Lucifer'...the fan put hands on a player.

It's a no go zone no matter if he looked like Brad Pitt.

WTF? So the crowd is just allowed to lunge at and touch players now? Dumbfounded.

[censored] that!!!

He should thank his God that Clarry didn't jump the fence, pull his head off and give a lightning fast handball to Jeffy so he could boot it into the third tier.

AFL Match Review Panel must have looked at the vision and judged the contact as careless with low impact to the body with the sanction of receiving an apology. Bit of a joke all round.  

Clarry should have always received a 'slap on the wrist' for engaging the fan. Needs to mature up a bit after the drink driving, twitter war and now clash with a Carlton Fan. Keep the sledging on the field. If Clarry hadn't have reacted to the fan but only pointed him out to the security team, the fan would have been sent packing but by retaliating he unfortunately makes the would be victim into the villain.

I hope the club follows up with a little statement of their own saying something along the lines of "on this occasion we felt Clayton may have overstepped the mark however the fan in question should be cautious in the future about making any physical or verbal contact in the future. The players have enough to concern themselves on the field and should not have to deal with unnecessary physical contact from patrons."

Clarry's comments were probably too far, didn't need to say he'll kill the [censored]. But this idiot shouldn't get off scot free either, the price of admission doesn't cover you getting up in the face and touching the players. If he's a member, Carlton should put him on probation. 

Both were in the wrong in their own ways.

Good to know the crowd can now do whatever they like to a 19 year old kid and it'll be his fault

except with this weak decision, clarrie is now the villain and the mug punter is now a hero and celebrity

result will be more vindictive publicity and game crowd attention for clarrie

if there was to be any apologies then both sides should have apologised

I'm happy that the club aplogises to not give this distraction any more oxygen. The MFC is in the business of winning premierships and whether Lord Varys is allowed to attend AFL games isn't our concerns. We won on Sunday and have a lot of work to do that if we get everything right have a genuine chance of winning a flag.

Disappointed at Melbourne here. By making the apology, the cross-hairs of the uninformed will now be firmly directed at Clarry, whom already have it in for him for his 'diving'. The Demons have effectively allowed free range at Oliver, and I'm really disappointed about it.

 

That said, Oliver should not interact with crowd members at all. But the Dees should be protecting him in these kinda instances IMO.

Yes I agree That is outrageous Aquiro has effectively admitted assaulting Clayton Oliver, no matter how minor or incidental that is completely beyond acceptable behavior . If the AFL accepts this sort of thing what will they accepts accidental flares thrown onto the ground  and routine raids onto the pitch to bash players of opposing clubs. Fortunately until this incident the AFL has been free of this sort of thuggery.

IF the club has actually apologised, (unless Oliver did actually say he would kill him, and they specified that that was the only subject of the apology) I am extremely disappointed and hope that they release the full story.

AND the AFL still need. to sanction the scumbag for touching a player - if they don't then they admit that it is OK.  A very wriggly can of worms they are opening there.

Clarrie has apologised.  http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-07-10/afl-probing-olivers-verbal-stoush-with-fan

"I shouldn't have reacted the way that I did and I apologise for that because I've taken some polish off the team's win," Oliver said.

"Moving forward I'll learn from this and it won't happen ever again."

It is understood Oliver has conceded the Blues fan did not use a profanity in his comments to the player

Please don't shoot the messenger, I am just reporting from press releases.

If Clarrie embellished what the guy said, that is poor form.

I love Clarrie as much as everyone on this site but he does need to let his football do the talking.  Speaking of which he received 4 Coaches votes :cool:

Club expects its players to be hard, but rolls over when they need and deserve some backup.

My pride in management just dropped a notch.

If this doesn't get at least 100 likes then there is something wrong with Demonland.

Expected result. Carlton fan is an idiot but Clarry doesn't need to respond. He can respond via the scoreboard. 

The incident means nothing, time to untwist our knickers and move right along.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
